thanks for remembering... did some digging and may have nailed down the TV network for the Human Bowling [人間ボウリング] show. Looks like it's broadcast by Nippon Television Network Corporation [日本テレビ放送網株式会社]

Another Japanese game show? I wonder if Arnold Chun will be getting some more work. The last two caps are in the robot-building place--Shinjuku Central Park. In fact, you can see green vests on the ground in earlier caps.

Amy's probably helping Nicole because the two teams don't like Leo & Jamal and Amy wants to ensure that Travis & Nicole beat Leo & Jamal since the cousins have a Speedbump. As for why Jason & Amy and Travis & Nicole dislike Leo & Jamal, the cousins have a habit of lying to other teams when there's no real need to. That would annoy me if I had to deal with that a lot of the time!

THIS!

or.. is it possible that Nicole is the one who helps? it would be a nice payback for Amy..

We don't really know who helps whom. Because based on the preview, when Amy feels nervous (looking to Leo or something), Nicole says that "focus on our task" or something similar. I feel that Nicole is calmer in this situation.

I was thinking along similar lines -- if clip 53 was in Alaska, then that means the Doctors made it to the Final 3. Also, Jamy was seen in a speedboat, presumably in the same location, and we already had reason to believe that they made the Final 3. So if the indications that the Exes also made it to the Final 3 are correct, then we might as well say good-bye to the Afghanimals. Not that I really mind, though Bookworm might.
